Why not celebrate our nation's huge political turning point with a slice just the way you like it? Jim Lahey is the owner of a hot new pizza place in Hell's Kitchen called Co. (short for Company) as well as the genius behind the mouth-watering Sullivan Street Bakery, so I'm pretty sure his fifth sense about the secrets of divine baked goods will certainly translate to his pizza dough recipe. Here's to hoping this recipe is truly as simple to make as it is sure to be tasty (if followed to Jim's delicious standards).

I know, I know...it seems like we're having your cake AND eating it too but who's gonna complain when we get to both celebrate an exciting political change for our country on inauguration day AND get awesome freebies? I say chalk it up to being a sign that things are already looking brighter for our economy's ickiness (at least for this one day). Free is free and in this tougher economic times whether you're Young & Broke or Mature & On a Budget, this Tuesday's list of freebies is just pure patriotic music to the ears...

NYC Metrocards/Dunkin Donuts: No free doughnuts here but they are giving away free rides on the NYC metro. Free metrocards will be given out from the Union Square/14th Street station this Tuesday (free metrocards will also be given out at Grand Central and Time Square on future dates this month - see link above for details)!

TGI Friday's bartenders will be mixing up FREE Jack and Coke's at 9pm on inauguration day for the "toast heard 'round the world". Appetizers will be half price for everyone with purchase of an entree and free chips and salsa will be served to all TGI Friday's GiVE ME MORE STRiPES members.

BAMcafe Live offers up FREE live music every Friday and Saturday night, featuring rock, jazz, R&B, world music, pop, and more from Brooklyn and beyond. This weekend's post-holiday Brazilian beats party sounds like a great way to dance the year away...

Whether you prefer ALMA as an acronym (“All for the Love of Music & Art”) or as the Portuguese word for “soul,” you’ll need both meanings to approximate the epic dance floor experience offered by this formidable Brazilian music collective. At the helm is first generation Brazilian and native New Yorker DJ True, combining samba, pagode, and drum & bass—plus a little extra holiday spirit—into foot-stomping Neo-Brazilian fusion grooves.

The hot new chamber group Music Unlocked made its ensemble debut in June 2008 at 92YTRIBECA and has performed with such ensembles as the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Seen on Broadway and at Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival, Music Unlocked brings chamber music to new audiences with engaging and innovative programs. Learn more >
